The Kentucky Headhunters, declared “the great American rock ‘n’ roll band” by Billboard magazine, began their professional journey in 1968 when brothers Fred and Richard Young and cousins Greg Martin and Anthony Kenney formed the Southern blues-rock band Itchy Brother. The band morphed into The Kentucky Headhunters in 1986. Their first album, 1989’s Pickin’ On Nashville, was released by Mercury Records and surprised the world, becoming a bona fide hit, selling over two million copies. The album won a Grammy Award, three Country Music Awards, an American Music Award and an Academy Of Country Music Award. It spawned four consecutive Top 40 Country hits. Currently, the band is made up of Richard Young, Fred Young, Greg Martin and Doug Phelps.

“The band is stoked! This is going to be a night you do not want to miss,” added Eric.

“We have room for approximately 150 vehicles. We hope to see a full parking lot in the heart of Beaver Dam on June 13,” said Mayor Sandefur.

CASTING CROWNS with Jamie Kimmett

CASTING CROWNS, Billboard’s top selling act in Christian music since 2007, returns to the Beaver Dam Amphitheater on Friday, June 19, 2020. Joining them will be Jamie Kimmett. Ticket prices range from $19.50 to $49.50.

With 11 million albums sold to date—including one RIAA Double Platinum Album, five Platinum and seven Gold records, and two Platinum and four Gold DVDs—Casting Crowns remains Billboard’s top selling act in Christian music since 2007. The award-winning group - consisting of Mark Hall, Melodee DeVevo, Brian Scoggin, Megan Garrett, Juan DeVevo, Chris Huffman and Josh Mix - got its start as a youth group worship band originally based in Florida. Today, each of the seven members remain active in ministry at their respective churches.

Their chart-topping songs—including “Who Am I,” “Voice of Truth,” “Praise You In This Storm,” “Just Be Held” and “Only Jesus”—have earned them nine No. 1 hits at radio and four RIAA Gold certified digital singles. In addition, Casting Crowns has appeared on “Good Morning America,” NBC’s “Today,” CNN, MSNBC, “Fox News,” “Fox & Friends,” “Huckabee” and more. They also had their debut performance at Carnegie Hall in January 2015. Always looking for opportunities to use their platform for greater good, over the course of their career, Casting Crowns has seen more than 112,000 children sponsored through their advocacy efforts at concerts.

Singer-songwriter Jamie Kimmett’s talent for writing truth-fueled songs comes from a deeply personal place. His enthusiasm for sharing scripture and, ultimately, the hope that transformed his own life, spills over into his every interaction. Growing up in a small town in Scotland, he found faith while pursuing a music career in Los Angeles. But the soulful singer’s journey wasn’t a simple one. It was a radical conversion, the result of God’s steady pursuit, like a father waiting for the return of his prodigal son. Through a series of divine appointments, Kimmett’s heart was transformed to an all-encompassing love for Jesus, a love that’s woven throughout his songs and performances offering a picture of a man completely changed by the love of Christ.
